I’m trying to use RegistrationKey in an LCM configuration for the first time.
I generated a GUID and put it in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\DscService\RegistrationKeys.txt on my HTTPS pull server running WMF 5.0. I used the same GUID as the value for RegistrationKey in the ConfigurationRepositoryWeb section of my meta-configuration. I ran the configuration with no errors. I confirmed that the GUID is in the .meta.mof file.
When I run Set-DSCLocalConfigurationManager, I get an error that says, “Registration of the Dsc Agent with the server failed” and “Failed to register Dsc Agent with AgentId …”
Were you ever able to work this out? I am getting the same error. I had originally built the DSC pull server with WMF4 installed. I saw a few posts saying they had to delete the website. I updated to the latest version of WMF5 and the xPSDesiredStateConfigurationModule. I then recreated the website and the web.config definately has the line:
We’ve kind of confirmed that pull servers on anything other than full GUI are a problem. I’ve no idea what to expect in terms of a fix timeframe, though.
